Applies to 2015-17 models

Important: Frontal crash test ratings should be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.

The Ford Mustang was redesigned for the 2015 model year. Moderate overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Ford as part of frontal crash test verification.

Injury measures

Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. Head accelerations from the two B-pillar hits were low.

Restraints and dummy kinematics

Dummy movement was well controlled. The driver side head and torso airbags deployed during the crash. (These airbags are separate.) The dummy's head grazed the top of the A-pillar as it moved forward into the frontal airbag. During rebound, the head contacted the A-pillar again.

The Ford Mustang was redesigned for the 2015 model year. Side ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Ford as part of side crash test verification.

Injury measures

Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.

Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.

Head protection

Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side airbag that deployed from the seat.

Passenger — The dummy's head was hit by the window sill trim, which was dislodged during the crash before head contact. This impact did not produce high head injury measures, but the head protection is insufficient.
